"Let's Get to Work"

This curriculum, which includes a complete set of lesson plans and materials (presentation slides, handouts, links to videos, etc.), is designed for an intermediate communication course (level 5 of 8) at Portland Community College. It addresses listening, speaking, pronunciation, and presentation skills within the theme of career exploration, drawing on some materials adapted from Oregon Career Information System. During the course, students complete several projects:

• a survey that they report in small groups

• a speech that they give to the whole class

• a video presentation that they share online

• a job interview as part of their final exam
